Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Data

The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) PERFORM team has developed unit commitment and economic dispatch (UCED) data for the synthetic Texas 7K and NYISO systems. The data is most easily used in conjunction with the open source Prescient (https://github.com/grid-parity-exchange/Prescient) production cost modeling system. These UCED test cases synthesize (1) power system network data from the TAMU PERFORM data team, (2) forecast and actual solar, wind, and load data produced by the NREL PERFORM data team, and (3) thermal unit performance characteristics produced by the University of Wisconsin PERFORM data team. The integrated data allows production cost model runs for these synthetic systems, over a full year of varying weather and system conditions. The Prescient system is built on the high-performance Egret (https://github.com/grid-parity-exchange/Egret) UCED optimization library, which enables rapid solution of large cases (such as the Texas7K system) with full network fidelity in tractable run-times. System performance metrics such as LMPs, generation costs, renewables curtailment, and reserve margins are the key outputs of resultant simulations.
